With the elegant movements of the waiter who came in, as well as the clear name of the dish, soon the big round table was full of dazzling, all kinds of colors accompanied by various postures, instantly making the table colorful, attractive colors, attractive tastes, stimulating the taste buds, stimulating the appetite.
"Yes, it's really good, if you add four dishes: 'fried sea cucumber with green onions', 'fresh abalone in broth', 'dried scallops', and 'braised shark's fin', it will be a classic Haidong soup feast." Qi Tianxiang looked at the table full of dishes, and said lightly. Of course, he knew that the people present understood the meaning of his words, and he also knew the meaning of the soup banquet in Haidong.
It is a table of famous dishes created in the Qing Dynasty, a collection of precious ingredients such as "sea eight treasures", after several days of slow simmering and stewing, it is said that it is the imperial banquet of the Qianlong Emperor, and it is also a concentrated display of precious seafood products in Haidong, because the ingredients are rare, the cooking process is complex, it is difficult to concentrate on production, and it has always been the classic of the precious seafood banquet. In recent years, some restaurants and restaurants have imitated it, but because of its complex workmanship and high price, it has become a representative dish of seafood luxury.
"It's still Secretary Qi who is discerning, I just said to make the old building simpler, the public, don't show cowardice, Secretary Qi is not only well-informed, but also full of economy, he still doesn't believe it, this doesn't let Secretary Qi see through it at a glance!" Pang Hangbin was stunned for a moment, and quickly returned to normal, and pointed to Lou Weimin with a smile and teased.
The words attracted sparse laughter, which also calmed Lou Weimin's embarrassed face a little, stood up uneasily, lowered his eyebrows and said to Qi Tianxiang with a smile: "It's not deliberate, it's just that they prepared a few homely and classic, who knows that they have prepared these." As he spoke, he looked at Pang Hangbin, and was secretly grateful to him for his relief, "Secretary Qi has been here for a few days, and he has been working hard to investigate the problem of the gold group's extrication. We are grateful and excited to express it, and it is also common sense, and we hope that the leaders will understand. ”
"Understand? You, a man full of Manchu costumes, are neatly reporting the names of dishes, how can we understand this battle and this pomp? Qi Tianxiang didn't pay attention to Lou Weimin's face full of guilt and uneasiness, and knew that these were all for him to see, so he looked at Lou Weimin's eyes with dissatisfaction and complaints, "Eat and eat, what are you doing with these vain battles, should you eat?" Or when to drink? ”
"That's it, eating is eating, isn't it good to be quiet and quiet?" Pang Hangbin saw Qi Tianxiang's statement, and his tone was obviously relaxed, so he hurriedly said to Lou Weimin: "Don't let these waiters go down quickly." ”
Lou Weimin hurriedly waved his hand to let the waiter withdraw as if he had met with amnesty, turned his face to Qi Tianxiang and said with a smile: "That's it, it's just some small stir-fried dishes, and some staple foods and soups, which are not luxurious, not luxurious." ”
"Luxury is not luxurious, it's not just a matter of looking at it, you still have to ask your stomach." Qi Tianxiang still said lightly, his eyes quickly scanning around the round table. In addition to Pang Hangbin, Lou Weimin, the two leaders of Haicheng City and Deqing City, as well as Li Mingfeng, mayor of Haicheng, Zhang Hanjie, mayor of Deqing, and Tang Zhijin, secretary of the Haicheng Commission for Discipline Inspection, plus Fang Yongxin, general manager of the gold group, and Lin Zhiqiang, deputy secretary of the party committee and head of the discipline inspection team, basically the party and government departments have arrived, which is also the scene that Qi Tianxiang hopes to see, and it can also be said that he has been waiting for the scene in the past two days.
Qi Tianxiang knows very well that these local principal officials have a lot of ideas and methods, and they are not as harmonious and happy as they seem on the surface, they all have their own ways and channels, they all belong to different groups and lines, and they have their own interests. This is a stubborn disease formed over the years, and it is also a rule that can be understood and tolerated, and the use of their own people is not only obedient, but also conducive to the purpose of promoting the work. This is especially true at the grassroots level, where the party and government chief officials of a county-level department can often be determined by the preferences of a certain leader of the higher-level department, and the so-called organizational inspections are only to improve the necessary procedures for such preferences or preferences. Therefore, to a large extent, the work does not completely depend on the ability or performance, but also depends on the relationship or backer, background that is not on the table, and everyone has different ideas and considerations, so that at this time, any arrangement, deployment, and even document requirements may not be able to achieve the expected effect, the only feasible way is to use the force to fight the tiger across the mountain, which is the main purpose of Qi Tianxiang's visit.
It is not easy to build a fortress, and it is even more difficult to break through a fortress, but it is not only feasible to use fortress checks and balances to contain the fortress, or even dismantle the fortress from the inside, but it is also a way for Qi Tianxiang to think about it, and it is also the effect that he hopes to achieve.
It is rare to have such an opportunity, Qi Tianxiang will not give up easily, let alone ruin his plan because of the specifications of a banquet, but should make everything a part of the plan.
The luxury of the dishes is the intention of the people to break the building, so as to clearly tell all the people present not to try to fool him Qi Tianxiang, and don't think about using such a little trick to send him away, he can accept it gladly, or he can not eat this set, if you want him to be satisfied, these are far from enough. The expression of these should be targeted, but also pointed, proportionate, and grasped, everyone is a smart person, and should be able to understand this.
Sometimes officialdom skills are like playing table tennis, the priority depends on the use of feel and technical means, playing heavy may kill the ball, playing light has no effect, but gives the opponent the opportunity to counterattack, only by grasping the way and method of hitting each ball, in order to hit the ball down, and firmly control the opponent. It is necessary to give the opponent the hope of victory, but also not to set the standard of this hope too low, and easily satisfy the goal of control.
"It's almost on the menu, so let's get started, shall we?" Pang Hangbin saw that Qi Tianxiang had already expressed his position, and he was not really angry, so he lost no time in suggesting that he continue to relieve Lou Weimin, "It's already prepared, it's a waste if you don't eat it, isn't it?" ”
"Of course you have to eat it, otherwise what are you doing sitting here?" Qi Tianxiang glared at Pang Hangbin angrily, but there was a gentle smile on his face, "With so many immortals from all walks of life gathered together, of course we have to let the old building break the bank, otherwise how can he rest assured!" ”
With Qi Tianxiang's permission, Lou Weimin and Mayor Zhang Hanjie were busy dividing into two groups, pouring wine in the cup for everyone, and after a period of chaos, they finally stopped, Lou Weimin looked at Qi Tianxiang eagerly, and said in a low voice: "Secretary Qi say a few words!" ”
Lou Weimin's proposal was supported and responded to by a full table of people, who all looked at Qi Tianxiang, waiting for him to express his position and opening.
"Then say a few words! If you don't say a few words, everyone is not at ease! Qi Tianxiang looked at everyone with warm eyes, and said in a gentle tone: "It's not easy to get here today, especially some comrades are familiar, some comrades are stranger, whether they are familiar or unfamiliar, it is worth being happy to sit together, and it is worth having a drink." ”
Qi Tianxiang paused for a moment, feeling that there were too many polite ingredients in his tone, some literati were sour and rotten, which was also a place to remind himself to pay attention to many times, but the official authority and domineering style were also deeply hated, so many times he also checked his way of speaking from time to time, especially the question after the foreshadowing, "Needless to say too much, everyone also knows the purpose of my visit to Haicheng Gold Group this time, since the name is Haicheng Gold Group, it is not the gold group's own business, nor is it just the business of Deqing City, It is still the matter of Haicheng City, and they all have the responsibility and obligation to rack their brains and help the group to get out of trouble, especially the livelihood of tens of thousands of employees and their families. ”
"In addition to the old party and Lao Lin two business family, I remember several are doing business, Lao Pang is also an important one of the gold group, the survival and development of the group at the time of the gold chaos is the hero of the exhaustion, the mayor of Mingfeng is a mechanical expert, Zhijin is a vehicle technical personnel, have done a lot of work for the development of the enterprise and the progress of society, paid sweat and wisdom!" Qi Tianxiang picked up his wine glass as he spoke, and said with emotion: "I think this first glass of wine should be honored by those of us who have worked hard for the revitalization of industry." ”
Qi Tianxiang's speech immediately made the atmosphere of the banquet warm, and also made the nostalgia spread, and they all raised their glasses and drank them all, but no one spoke, knowing that Qi Tianxiang still had something to say, so he quietly waited for his next words. Qi Tianxiang saw that everyone had done it, so he also drank a glass of wine. A strong RLA from the mouth to the throat, and then to the chest and abdomen, I don't know whether it was the heat of the wine, or the anger in my heart was stimulated, so I breathed a long sigh of relief, and said regretfully: "It's a pity! Sitting here now, those who are still having trouble sleeping for the enterprise and employees are Lao Fang and Lao Lin. The glory or regret that everyone has had also belongs to the past. ”
"In the final analysis, reform is to solve the problem of eating, dressing and living, that is, an agriculture, an industry, both hands are indispensable! The problem of the gold group is not simply a problem of resource depletion, but a problem of how to change and reform, and how to benefit millions of people. How to fix it? When will it be resolved? This requires everyone to think about it together. Qi Tianxiang glanced at everyone, his eyes were a little gloomy, "It's nothing more than two roads, one is to move out of tens of thousands of employees and their families as a whole, set aside an area in Deqing or Haicheng for proper resettlement, and return the mining area to a perfect ecology of clear water and blue sky; The other is to transfer on the spot, reasonably solve the practical problems of the survival and life of employees and their families, and improve the service and supporting mechanisms, so that the workers can stay and live well. This needs to be solved as soon as possible, and enterprises cannot afford to wait, and the families of employees cannot afford to wait. ”
"Secretary Qi raised a question, but also pointed out the way out, which is for us cadres from the enterprise, both encouragement and spur, the current difficulties of the enterprise, both the real predicament, but also our debts in the enterprise, we are sorry for the enterprise, but also sorry for the hard work of the employees and their families." Pang Hangbin waited for Qi Tianxiang to finish speaking, and hurriedly took over the conversation to express his position, his tone was sincere, with deep self-reproach.
Of course, he knew the meaning of Qi Tianxiang's words, and he was well aware of the accusations and dissatisfaction hidden behind his words. When he was in charge of the gold group, in the face of various forms of illegal mining, as well as serious interference and damage to the group's mining production environment, he repeatedly reported upward, which finally attracted the attention of the province and promoted the introduction of provincial regulations on the protection and utilization of mineral resources. At that time, Qi Tianxiang, as an authority on administrative law, was invited to become a member of the expert group and participated in the research and demonstration of the regulations. In the past six months, the expert group has done a lot of work, and Qi Tianxiang's opinions on comprehensive utilization and paid development, as well as compensation to promote protection, have been unanimously recognized by all parties, and are also prepared to become the content of the regulations as an important principle, but they have been opposed by the group and the local government headed by Pang Hangbin, and can only be used as the follow-up work content after the regulations, and the group and Haicheng City will supervise and implement them. However, due to the fact that Pang Hangbin soon became the deputy mayor in charge of industry in Haicheng City, and needed to take into account the interests of both the local government and the group, especially the interests of the Deqing municipal government, he finally compromised under the pressure of all parties, so that the gold mining governance lost the best opportunity, so that under the siege of collective and private small mines, he struggled in the predicament for several years, but it was no longer able to support it.
As a result of all this, Pang Hangbin is responsible, at least selfish, so under Qi Tianxiang's words, he feels that he has an unshirkable responsibility. This is only one aspect, stemming from reflection on the past, but it is only one aspect of the content. There is also a layer of meaning that he is difficult to talk about, and what he cares about the most, that is, now that it is a critical moment in his career, he does not want to offend Qi Tianxiang, at least he does not want to have one more opponent and roadblock. He will be on the bar next year, he is actively retiring to the Provincial People's Congress or the CPPCC, and there are people helping him to operate this major event, which does not need Qi Tianxiang to help, but the deputy director of the National People's Congress and the chairman of the special committee, the difference between the heavens and the earth, when the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee discusses the nomination, Qi Tianxiang does not say that he actively agrees, as long as he does not hold objections, it is the greatest support, and these changes in impression, the past and present of the gold group are key factors, especially the current way out of the predicament, It is very important for Qi Tianxiang and him Pang Hangbin.
Thinking of this, seeing that Qi Tianxiang did not express his position, Pang Hangbin then added: "Considering the practical difficulties of the group, and listening to the introduction of Comrade Weimin and Mr. Fang to the group, especially knowing that Secretary Qi personally encountered the emergency of employees besieging the group's office building two days ago, we are very self-blaming, and we are also uneasy about the passive situation caused by the lack of work." Therefore, before coming to Mingfeng, I discussed with the mayor of Mingfeng, and decided to take out 2 million yuan from the mayor's special fund as an early relief fund to temporarily solve the urgent needs of the group, and the follow-up relief and transformation work, the Haicheng Municipal Party Committee and the municipal government must strongly support and actively assist, regard the affairs of the enterprise as the main work of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, and make every effort to implement the solution. As he spoke, Pang Hangbin stood up excitedly, patted his chest and said: "This is my old Pang's attitude, and it is also the attitude of the Haicheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. ”
"Lao Pang's words also speak my heart." Li Mingfeng was a little surprised by Pang Hangbin's statement, especially the matter of the two million funds, which felt abrupt, but under Pang Hangbin's gaze, he could only temporarily suppress the unhappiness in his heart, and also stood up and said positively: "Just like Secretary Qi just said, Lao Pang and I are both from the enterprise, and we have deep feelings for the enterprise, and the affairs of the enterprise are the top priority of the government. I also really feel the care and warmth of the party and the government. ”
"No matter how you say this, you all stand up, sit down, sit down." Qi Tianxiang nodded with satisfaction, waved his hands and beckoned Pang Hangbin and Li Mingfeng to sit down, "I am very grateful and deeply moved by the fact that you can meet in this way, let me really feel the valuable quality of the Haicheng Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, with such a local party and government leadership group, any difficulties and pressures are not to be worried." ”
Qi Tianxiang felt that he had achieved all his goals, so he said gently: "The topic on the wine field today is a little heavy, this is mainly my responsibility, which makes the atmosphere a little depressing, after all, we are sitting together today for a happy gathering, not to review mistakes and statements, from now on, no longer mention things at work, concentrate on drinking and eating, don't live up to the good intentions of the old building." ”
Under Qi Tianxiang's urging, Pang Hangbin and Li Mingfeng sat down separately, and the atmosphere gradually eased, especially with Qi Tianxiang's encouragement and support, Fang Yongxin and Lin Zhiqiang frequently raised their glasses, crossed and shuttled to toast Pang Hangbin and others, and said all kinds of nice words of gratitude over and over again, making the banquet a happy social field.
This continued, until the end of the banquet, it seemed to be a happy ending, but in fact, it was far from that simple inside, and everyone had different thoughts, behind this seemingly peaceful surface, only Qi Tianxiang knew that the competition and game had just begun.
